Far-Ultraviolet Observations of Starburst Galaxies with FUSE: Galactic Feedback in the Local Universe
J. P. Grimes, T. M. Heckman, A. Aloisi +6
We have analysed FUSE far-UV spectra of a sample of 16 local starbursts. These galaxies span ranges of almost three orders-of-magnitude in star formation rate and over two orders-o…
A New Hubble Space Telescope Distance to NGC 1569: Starburst Properties and IC 342 Group Membership
Aaron J. Grocholski, Alessandra Aloisi, Roeland P. van der Marel +8
We present deep HST ACS/WFC photometry of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569, one of the closest and strongest nearby starburst galaxies. These data allow us, for the first time,…
HST morphologies of local Lyman break galaxy analogs I: Evidence for starbursts triggered by merging
Roderik A. Overzier, Timothy M. Heckman, Guinevere Kauffmann +10
Heckman et al. (2005) used the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) UV imaging survey to show that there exists a rare population of nearby compact UV-luminous galaxies (UVLGs) that c…
I Zw 18 revisited with HST/ACS and Cepheids: New Distance and Age
A. Aloisi, G. Clementini, M. Tosi +9
We present new V and I-band HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been argued in the past that I Zw 18 i…
Feedback in the local LBG Analog Haro 11 as probed by far-UV and X-ray observations
J. P. Grimes, T. Heckman, D. Strickland +6
We have re-analyzed FUSE data and obtained new Chandra observations of Haro 11, a local (D_L=88 Mpc) UV luminous galaxy. Haro 11 has a similar far-UV luminosity (10^10.3 L_\odot),…
Very metal poor Classical Cepheids: variables in IZw18
G. Fiorentino, M. Marconi, G. Clementini +5
In the framework of an ongoing ACS@HST project (HST program #10586, PI: Aloisi) we have obtained deep multi-color imaging of the very metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy IZw18. Th…
